iMac - iBlend - wallpaper

i did a quake3 logo like this a while ago, and tonight, i wanted to give 2.30 a test run, so I modelled the famous blender logo and this is what I ended up with… enjoy!

ps - the stripes in the background are modelled, polygons, real… not a texture :slight_smile:

Very nice work! I like the second one, especially the background texture. I have been looking for a texture like that to make cg greeting cards.
Now all we need is for Steve Jobs to see your work, maybe he would make a cash donation to the Blender Foundation, for Ton and his team to futher develop Blender. :smiley:

Cool! But the logo is slightly off however. The top things(don’t know what to call them)that are extruding from the circle should be moved up slightly and rotated.

Keep it up! 8)

oh ya, good call. i updated.

and btw. the background is not a texture, thats modelled as part of the scene :slight_smile:

Yay, looks better! But, if you want it perfect and completely accurate, the middle segment should be perfectly allighned horizontal. :smiley:

oh really? ahh didnt know that, good tip!

/me off to update…

LOL mrneil, are you not using any reference at all! 8)

theres something wrong with your desktop… i can only see one blender logo, and its not an icon…

narrows eyes

I have to admit: I use windows.

Hope I may still use this as background. Even if my OS is from hell. :wink:

I really love it!

I like it , its very nice looking , BUT I think you are doing somethin you could do in photoshop and get similar results , You are using a 3d program , you took the time to model the logo … show it at an angle . show the depth something … great model and texture :wink: Show it off bro

oh ya, no doubt, someone who is good at photoshop could have done this. But, that wouldnt feel “real” to me. Thats why i like modelling, i get to create something real, move it around, look at it however you want, and do whatever you want with it. its just more real to me

Dont get me wrong I think its a totally sweet material , perfect match of the Mac os style :wink:
I just wanted to see another angle … bring one end real nice and close to the camera for a perspective shot ,

As for realism in photoshop , its totally acheiveable ,
in fact , if you look at the reflections I produced with PS in the example below , they are rounded , to the shape of the logo , which are straight.

When they would be greatly rounded on a totally round object . http://www.twistedbydesigns.com/PSexample.jpg

Realy nice… Shame I’m stuck with win 98 (a.k.a: 6th department of hell (win me is the 7th)).

BTW: MGK, the aqua style you made is realy nice and all (and I do mean it) but it’s still seem to lack the apple beauty.

It doesn’t really smart… the “i” means it’s an Apple program.
